If you need help finding a doctor, dentist, or case manager, call toll-free 1-877-847-8377 (1-877-THSTEPS), Monday to Friday. Texas Health Steps will answer any questions you have about the services your child can get.

Doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and dentists give Texas Health Steps checkups in clinics, private offices, and other places. For children with special health care needs, case managers (nurses or social workers) may visit clients at home to plan for special health care services. For more information about these services, visit the Children With Special Health Care Needs or the Case Management for Children and Pregnant Women websites.

Who can get Texas Health Steps?

Babies, children, teens, and young adults from birth through 20 years of age who have Medicaid can get Texas Health Steps.

Why are Texas Health Steps checkups important?

Checkups help find health problems even when your child is feeling okay, and can help prevent health problems that can make it hard for your child to grow and learn like other children their age.
